Remember when Calvin Klein had a cosmetics line a few years ago? Its minimalist packaging reminded me of Shu Uemura a bit, and the colors were flattering and natural-looking. Despite these good qualities, it was discontinued. But as of January, it'll be back in a big way.
The ck Calvin Klein beauty collection includes more than 200 products, ranging from foundation to lip color to nail polish and everything in between. The concept is to link the cosmetics line closely to the current-season Calvin Klein fashion. To that end, makeup artists at the sales counter will be called "stylists." (What's wrong with plain old "makeup artists"? Oh well.)

Mark Carrasquillo, ck Calvin Klein global makeup artist, says that color is the thrust of the collection. He said: "You might put a green and blue eyeshadow together, but it's all about the application and how you wear it to make it new." The collection, which launches next month at Sephora, averages about $20 per piece. To see a slew of product images, including some dramatic ads from the campaign, just

Just purchased the foundation - shade caramel from the only store that sells it in Dubai - Debenhams at the Mall of the Emirates. Also picked up a lip gloss that the SA said would not go even after your coffee. Although the gloss which is a light pink shade feels thick and glue-like on the lips, it did plump up my lips instantly ala Jolie style and did not budge even after coffee... and breakfast! I think I will bear with the thick feel, if my lips did look more soft and plump at the end of it all.I havent tried on the foundation yet but its a cream to powder texture (i tried a bit on my face in the store)and shall put in my review after that. The price is a steal.

dayzfan4life01, I haven't seen the foundation/concealer colors yet, so I'm hoping the line has been made with all kinds of women in mind. I'm not a fan of makeup lines that basically pretend like women of color don't exist, so I'm holding out to see.

Only ONE of those model photos didn't scare me!
If that's the ad campaign they're using to launch the new line, what were they thinking??? Their fragrance ads have always been fab - some of them iconic, even. I hope the makeup ads get better!
